Research Programme
R@ISE aims to systematize and spread the global low-code/no-code revolution, especially in domains where safety and correctness are a must, as is the case in business critical and safety critical systems. R@ISE is arming key corporate stakeholders and citizen developers with a robust, research-led LC/NC platform and advanced adoption toolkit. R@ISE will leverage international academic and industrial knowledge in LC/NC as well as in formal methods, security, and more, to focus on low-code development platforms, their adoption, use and evaluation.
Research within the project will provide a coherent, holistic, and robust platform that offers both generic and customisable modelling environments aimed at LC style domain specific development, as well as a superior “Digital Thread” platform which supports data and software integration. This is achieved by means of meta-tooling support, enhanced formal methods, and the creation of applications and case studies using domains, languages, and tooling congruous to those known by industry collaborators and domain experts.
Entrenched into the strategy of R@ISE is a commitment to stakeholder collaboration, as well as continuous platform iteration and research/educational dissemination. In this respect, the R@ISE research programme will be built on the foundations of engaged and action research methods. Stakeholders will be engaged throughout the project which spans tool and platform development (WP1), adoption on case studies, validation, and stress testing (WP2), and dissemination, education, and public engagement (WP3). This ambitious research program will achieve significant impact across the quadruple helix of government, industry, academia, and society while also contributing to talent development.
Impact
R@ISE is the research catalyst of a unique industry partnership supporting the development and adoption of technologies, methodologies and test beds of national strategic importance. The project will harnesses national and international academic knowledge, combined with industrial know-how and experience in LC/NC. The project will deliver a comprehensive platform for LC/NC development leading to:
- Creation of a shared, cohesive vision and strategy for the growth of LC/NC research, education and tool development.
- An unprecedented level of participation and partnership of academic and industry partners committed to the LC/NC
vision. - The extended dissemination of high-calibre and research-led insights relating to the evolving LC/NC field.
- The exponential growth of high-class LC/NC deployment by small and large actors, furthering increased corporate
automation and revenue generation on a national scale.
